y Startling Prediction.

Two hundred years ago in China there
was just such n crazo about natural gas
as we have III this country to-day. Gas
wells were sunk with rs much vim and
vjgOr as the Cclos!ia!s were capable OF,
but owing to n gas explosion that killed
several millions Of people snd tore u,
and destroyed Il large district Of country,
leaving Il large inland sea, known on the
maps rs Lake FOO Chang, the boring Of
any more HaS wells was then and there
prohibited 10y law. 1t seems, according
to the ChiucHc history, that many large
and heavy pressure gas wells were struck
and iii some districts wells were sunk
quite near to each other. Gas was
lighted Us soon rs struck, as is dOno in
tins country. 1t Is stated that ono well
with It's unusual pressure, by induction
or back draught, pulled down into the
earth the burning gas Of IL smaller well,
resulting In dreadful explosion Of II
large district, destroying the inhabitants
thereof. Lake Foo Chang rests on this
district. Tho same catastrophe is immi-
mont lii this country unless tho laws re-
strict further developments in boring SO
many wells. Should similar explosion
occur there will be such an MphcaYnl as
as will dwarf the mn,t terrible Garth

ASSASSIN GUITEAU's ANATHDmA.
Remarkable Succession OF BIisfortunes
That Ha,e Followed His witherIng

| remarkable Succession OF MisfortuneS
That Haze Followed His Withering
Curse.
WASHINGTON, July 3O.-After the as
sassin Gaiteau had been convicted and
sentenced by the court to be hanged for
killing President Garfield, he stood np
in his place and pronounced whitening
curse on every one connected with the
trial. Little was thought of it at the
time. 1t was regarded as fitting
climax of his rawlings throughout that
remarkable case. Grliteau declared that
misfortune would attend every one con-
nected with his trial. Since then chi
teaus curse has impressed itself upon
the minds of superstitious people by the
singular manner in which it has appar-
emily been fulfilled. o
The jury was composed of twelve
strong and healthy men. The foreman
was In comfortable circumstances and
was estimated to be worth 0,O0O,
Within n year after the trial he lost his
money and is now reduced to the level
of day laborer.
-Four members of the jury are dead,
and nearly every one has been visited
with some kind of misfortune.
District Attorney Geo. B. Corkhill
was removed from Office, his wife died
and his own death followed before the
end of another year.
MIR. Scovllle, Guiteaus brother-in- law.
who with Charles III. Reed defended the
prisoner, was divorced from his wife and
lost all of his property,
PRESIDENT Arthur, who refused to
grant pardon or new trial to Guiteau.
was defeated for denomination and slow
ly failed in health, and died last winter.
MIR. Blaine, who was witness against
Guitcau, was nominated for President,
but defeated
John A. Logan, another witness, is
now dead, stricken down in apparent
health.
DIR. ID. w. Bliss, Garfeld's physician,
has been IN very poor health for two
years, and it is thought that he will
never be well man again.
David Davis, who appeared as O wit
ness, has also joined the great majority,
Judge John X. Porter, of New York,
one OF the government counsel in the,
case, has practically retired from the
practice of his profession.
The guards who kept watch over Gui-
teau III the jail have nearly all lost their
positions.
Judge Cox, who presided over the
trial, lost his wife.

Tho only conspicuous exception is
found in Walter Davidge, of the govern
ment counsel in the case. MIR. Davidgo
has apparently been more prosperous
since the trial than before. He stands OF
the head of the Washington bar.
The defeat Of the Republican party in
1854 recalls the fact that Guiteau pre-

Merits of Smait Fowls,

The advantage of small breeds of hons
IS thus presented by the American Aori-
culturist: Though small in size. The
Loghorns and Hamburgs erow RAPIDLY
and mature early. 1t requires some,
time before large fowl attains it's full
size. Tho advantage of the small breeds.
IS that they permit us to make O "short
cut" to the laying point, though they
may be deficient in weight. So far as
the cost is concerned, it has been
demonstrated that it requires no more
food for large fowl than small one
compared with the product. That is, we
can produce as many pounds of Leghorn
meat as we can of Cochin meat with the
same proportion of food, but in laying
qualities the small breeds are superior,
as they are usually non-sittors, and Law
large eggs. Another advantage with
them is that, being small, large num-
beE can be kept together, as they require
less room on the roost. Being active,
they do not become excessively fat, and
II allowed to run at large they will pick
up large proportion of their food dur
ing favorable seasons. Being usually
clean legged, they are not as subject to
scabby logs as the Asiatics, and if kept
warm in wintor they will lay about as
well during the cold season as in sum-
mer.

story Of ~ Snake and q Pig.

Jasper Bryan, living out on the river,
east of town, relates a remarkable Incl
dent between pig of his and rattle
snake. a tino SOW and pigs used to go
in the river swamp, and frequently the
SOW would appear for her slops with one
pig short, which so worried friend
Bryan that he mustered his forces and
went in search of tho cause of the alb
Sencc of the pigs. He had not been in
the swamp long before he was startled
by the peculiar sound Of the rattles, and
upon investigation found that a snake
had swallowed a pig, but the little
grunteT, not being satisfied with the
confinement, had actually kicked its feet
through the belly of the snake and was
walking about trying to find its way out
of the woods, with its head still incioscd
IN the lower part of the snakes body.

found TO contain sixteen rattles, The

How to Secure Good Stand of TurnIpS.

An old and experienced farmer gives ue
the following rule for securing good stand
Of turnips; Prepare the land thoroughly
and lay off the rows ready for sowing the
seed, then wait until rain has formed u
crust and cover with fresh, moist earth.
The moist earth will germinatc the seed,
and the roots will penetrate the underlying
crust by the time the plants are up, thus
securing enough moisture from below to
supply The plants in case the weather should
be dry enough to kill them otherwise. An.
other safe rule, it is said, is to roll the land
well after sowing turnip seed, thus sccur-
ing good roofing before the plants come up
to be killed by the hot sun.-AaderS0n

SEX on THE SCAFFOLD.

A curious debate has been held at Albany.
the subject being a bill 10 abolish the death
pcnalty for women Now the death penalty is
a GnaJity which many cformcrs hope TO SEQ
abolished some day without distinction Of SEX.
The impression that hanging is the worst use
TO which man can I've put IL widespread,
beyond doubt, and perhaps the main reason
why ii has not as yet appeared practicable 10
do away with that punishment is that certain
undcvelopcd natures remain among us and
that these are ant to mistake the razng Of the
gallows for n weakening OF the popular pref
udice against murder. so long, however ~
the scaiIod is maintained, it will probably le
maintained, in theory at least, upon equal terms
for men and women. And 1t seems necessary
that this should be so because (though tho
Albany debaters did not appear to bc aware of
itl the tendency in practice ls already strongly
in the direction OF feminine emancipation from
the conventional penalties of murder The
truth is, that in some Of the Western States /:
has for many years been found impossible TO
convict women Of murder in the first degree,
and this not so much because jurics are opposed
to the execution OF women as because Of the
growth OF a gushing sentimcnalty which de-
lies reason and SCOTS at consequences.
1t has been argued that the existence of this
feeling proved the necessity of abolishng cap
tal punishment altogether. for tha lures who
would not hang a murdercss would sentence
her 10 life imprisonment In practice, how
ever, il has been found that when ycrdcts of
murder in the second degree were found the
prevalence of The sentimental objection to hang
ing women simply extended so as TO cover I'M
prisonmcnt also and after short confinement
the pardoning power was invoked TO set the
interesting assassin free again. The practical
result has been that in several States woman
can hardly do any wrong. and it is in these
peculiarly liberal communities that those rare
flowers of the human race bloom, whose careers

of thorough going enfranchlscmcnt from the

itios have not learned the remote possibilities
in the great woman question, and until they do
il will probably be vain to expect that they
will abolish the scafiold theoretically, whatever
may be done in practice. Yet there is really
no ground for apprchending that injustice will
